Betting on Upsets: Rangers Win, Flyers Cover in NHL Picks
For much of the season, the Philadelphia Flyers were sitting pretty as a surprise team in the thick of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference. Things have trended rapidly in the wrong way: Philadelphia has dropped eight games in a row heading into a matchup with the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers. The NHL latest lines list the Rangers as a -200 favorite against the Flyers.
New York has won seven games in a row against the Flyers, including all three meetings this season. Four of the last six games between the Flyers and the Rangers have been decided by one goal.

The NHL betting lines list the Rangers at +115 to cover the puck line as a 1½-goal favorite with the Flyers at -135 as a 1½-goal underdog.
When looking at Stanley Cup odds, New York is sixth at +900. Philadelphia is well back at +25000.

Look for the Rangers to add another home win to its total but with so many recent Flyers-Rangers being decided by one goal, could this game be headed the same way?
Defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Nick Seeler are both out for the Flyers. Forwards Filip Chytil and Blake Wheeler are out for the Rangers.
